Fans think Jan was planning to kill Michael
In Season 4, Episode 13 ("Dinner Party"), fans witness an incredibly awkward and eye-opening affair where the tension slowly escalates throughout the evening between the two, with Michael thinking Jan may have even poisoned the soup. It turns out some fans think murder may have been on the menu.
The game-changing theory posted by u/B-e-a-u (https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/rxktx1/the_office_jan_was_going_to_kill_michael_after/) speculates that "Jan was going to kill Michael Scott after getting pregnant." Also mentioned were several details that support the notion Jan could be capable of homicide, like her erratic behavior and control issues. The user capped the assertion off with, "who's to say she wouldn't kill Michael after he had the vasectomy reversed(snip, snap, snip, snap) for his sperm, inherit his newly renovated condo, possibly a life insurance policy, and make more money with her candles for the vigil. I think if Michael didn't go with Dwight he would have been murdered that night." U/wesleypipes5011 (https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/rxktx1/comment/hrk6v1s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) referenced the possibly poisonous soup, saying, "I always thought the poison thing was a throwaway joke but you just made me believe this 100%."
Had the killing gone down this way, the series would have ventured into true crime territory for sure, changing the dynamic of the series drastically. But while there is no definitive evidence to support the claims that Jan could have done such a thing had the circumstances been different, the actress that played the character has her own thoughts on the episode and the couple.
